The SLX did not specify, but the XT did say so ordered XT. Just received the XT without the finned pads, feel like a bit of a mug right now. Still they were a bargain, so not like I will complain, just not impressed by Ribble.

so the XT didn't come with them either? Did you get the spare olive and inert? By the time you add up the cost of a new olive/insert etc it makes the XT about the same price.

tbh I seriously doubt I need the finned pads but it's just annoying to not get what you paid for. The picture on the ribble email shows the finned on both SLX and XT.

At least the rear hoses look longer than the front ones.

oh and I called them up to ask about it and didn't exactly get an amazing response. I didn't go demanding they put it right and giving the a chance to see if was just an error. I would have bought XT had I known but they are out of stock.
